Description (last modified by ceraolo)
Recently OMEdit has added a toolbar in the variables browser. that was not there the last time the user's guide was updated.
The toolbar I mean is highlighted by a red rounded rectangle in the png picture enclosed.
I think that toolbar is not frequently used, and indeed has not been there for years. But it occupies a significant part of the OMEdit window space.
I would appreciate if it could optionally be hidden.
If I understand well, that toolbar has a function only when array plots are used. If this is true, maybe it can be shown only when at least one array plot is open?

Ok, it is up to developers.
However, I don't agree that with modern 4k screens space is not an issue.
Resolution is a different thing than space: e.g., I do have a 4k screen but the space (in cm and in visual angles) on my screen is not different from what I used to have earlier.
For me careful consideration of any bit of space is always important when programming GUI's.
At least I would recommend to reduce the size of arrows, so that the vertical size of the toolbar with arrows is not larger than that required by the two labels (Time and Speed) and edit controls.
Yes, we would gain just a few mm's, but those can be used to display a slightly longer variable list.

Replying to ceraolo:

It is customizable via Tools->Options->General->Toolbar Icon Size.
Note that it will change the size of all the toolbars in OMEdit.
This toolbar is of course used by array plots but most importantly for DynamicSelect annotation and debugging of state machines. There is some information about it in the users guide now.
With the modern day 4k screens I believe space is not an issue but nevertheless this is an important toolbar and we want to keep it.
